Description:
Vibrant colors and crisp black characterize the output of the Epson Stylus 777. It offers print speeds of up to 8 pages per minute in black and 6 ppm in color, 880 x 720 dpi resolution, and quick-drying, smudge-proof inks. Epson also incorporates MicroPiezo ink-jet technology and AcuPhoto halftoning for natural skin tones and smooth gradations for reliable results with each print.In our tests of the 777, we loved the speedy setup. Color and black ink cartridges snapped in easily with no mess or mistakes. A foldout guide walked us through clearly and thoroughly detailed steps to get running. Epson also covers printer basics for the novice in their user's guide. Software loaded intuitively, though the useful electronic printer manual was a bit fanciful. We printed a variety of images on some of the specialty papers that Epson included in the box. We selected the photo enhancement setting to improve brightness and contrast when printing photos, and the 777 handled these printing jobs with pleasing results. With quiet print operation, we were undisturbed on the telephone or deep in conversation. You can expect to get about 400 to 600 pages of black printing, or under 300 for color, before replacing the cartridges. With automatic ink-low and ink-out detection, you can track how much ink you have left with the onscreen progress display during printing. A 100-sheet input tray accepts a wide range of standard papers, envelopes, and many specialty media, including labels, photo paper, and card stock holding up to 30 pages of output at one time. We appreciated the 777's sleek look--clean curved lines in soft gray--and its compact design. The 777's small footprint measures just 10 by 6.8 by 17.7 inches to save desk or counter space; it weighs a movable 8.4 pounds. The 777 comes with Corel Print House 2000 for photo editing, Epson Software Film Factory for image editing and Trellix Web for creating Web pages. It is also supplied with driver software for most Windows or Macintosh systems and for USB connectivity. The unit is backed by a one-year warranty. --David Greenberger Pros: - Easy to set up and use
